In San Francisco, things are torrential

Jesse Quick has sent out the APB.

But right now, Titans Tower is on fire in half a dozen places, and the torrential storm overhead isn't stopping the fires nearly enough. Lightning sizzles through the sky, and well over a dozen flying figures soar around the Tower, surveilling it and occasionally blasting it with something. Many more are on the ground and in the Tower itself - parts of the Tower explode periodically as the violence escalates.

The Tower is under siege, and the Titans are fighting a losing battle.

But things change, and Weather Wizard turns his head and sees:


Incoming!

Ow. OW. Will not fall over, even if the ground's not sure where it's at right now. Will not.

"And I'm sure the fire, debris and collateral damage all know that, too, huh?" Yeah, maybe trying to reason with him is a vain attempt, but he knows enough that he's not getting inside unless Deathstroke lets him. Roy suddenly lets the bar go, bouncing back and grabbing a hanging piece of ceiling and pulling, bringing most of it down between them in a plume of dust and smoke.

Before that ceiling collapses, automatics snap into Slade's hands and he fires off a dozen rounds. None of them will be immediately lethal, but Roy's probably got about ten minutes, fifteen tops, before he bleeds to death now.

Somebody will find him if he can't stop the bleeding himself, Slade figures.

"Fuck."

The debris isn't enough to trap him, but it's enough to slow him down. He's going nowhere fast, and he counts... three? Four? There's too much blood to be sure.

Roy slumps against the wall, using it to lean as he drags himself forward, still in search of Lian, but mostly help at this point.

Oh, no. Roy Harper will live through this.

Tara Strong came in with Travis. He being the bigger gun, he went into the Tower while she's been scouring the grounds for wounded people and securing the the bad guys she finds unconscious. She can't run fast enough to stop the bullets, but she forgoes the parting arrow in order to check on her teammate for Team Green.

"Mother of God, Arsenal, what did you do to piss that guy off?" First rule, keep him talking. Talking means breathing.

And he starts... laughing? Yeah. He's laughing. And it hurts, a lot.

"S'like God said to Job... 'something about you just pisses me off'. Y'seen Lian 'r... Donna?" He sees Ibn approaching and points in that direction. "Heyhey! Calvary."
